Café 3838 Denman Parade
Normanhurst, Sydney
Sir and Mlady started the commencement of daylight savings by having a brunch.
We do so love our "brunches", even though we did have to make sure we had our times and clocks right first.
Café 38 is quite deceiving from the outside as we saw a few tables outside and were not quite sure of the table arrangement inside.
When you open the doors you see the counter with all it's delicious assortments of cakes, wraps and croissants and as you turn to your right there is an "upstairs".
We were pleasantly surprised. It is a split level.This upper area was quite spacious with tables scattered around with ample room.
There were also arm chairs with tables by the window where you can sit and view the world going by.
We arrived early-ish and were fortunate that we did, as we were able to grab a couple of the comfortable arm chairs by the window.
Soon after the place began to fill up quite quickly.
We had a bottle of tap water on the table not long after we arrived and a menu to peruse.
Sir ordered his usual skim flat white and Mlady had her soy cappuccino which she prefers weak. The coffee here was good.
Mlady is quite partial to fresh juices and chose (from the blackboard) the "Ginger Ninja". It was made up of carrot, apple, beetroot, ginger and mint. An absolute delicious and refreshing juice.
Sir ordered - from the blackboard - the Bacon and egg Roll. Sir really enjoyed this and said that the roll was soft and almost Brioche like.
Mlady had eggs on toast - which she chose as scrambled eggs with roast tomato served with sourdough. She really enjoyed this. The roast tomato was tasty and fresh and combined well.
The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you to Christian for chatting with Mlady and also thank you to the waitress (we regret not getting your name) but you had on red and white earrings and you explained that the porridge had been taken off the menu as it was a hot day.
Café 38 are also available for functions.
